A Valentine's Match

This movie made me smile. I thought the two main characters had good chemistry and liked the quick banter back and forth.

This might've been cuter if the main characters were in high school but they aren't. The main characters are so immature, it's hard to believe they are adults. The mothers are so obviously manipulative yet the two leads seem oblivious to it. Most of it was so over acted that it would have worked as a silent film.

I always enjoy Bethany Joy Lenz and Luke MacFarlane in HM movies, I know they will always give a good performance.

If you haven't seen Bethany in The Christmas Secret you need to put it on your wish list, it's my favorite.

As for Luke, he has done such a good job in many movies that I don't really have a favorite. If Luke MacFarlane is in a movie you know he will give you his best performance.

This was a pretty basic HM movie, no surprises.

It's a Valentine movie so no snow ball fights.

The script is pretty good for a formula movie, I really enjoyed it.

The supporting actors were all great, so kudos to the entire cast.

My advice - watch the movie, it's fun.

It's based around a Valentines auction, It's supposed to be in the Pacific Northwest but the entire movie had green grass and leaves on the trees.

There's plenty of the usual Hallmark checklist items in the movie, but a few new twists raise it above many (for example the last two scenes as well as the 'best friend' being a new acquaintance). The plot and characters could easily be built on so they should do a sequel. The young married couple could also have a movie of their own, maybe a prequel. Either way, there's a lot of cross-generational fun to be had.
